Going back to the street

Graphic by Bruna Costa

My heart is breaking. If I don’t say it, it means that it doesn’t hurt me. I spent time and the best moments in that shelter.

Before, I was sleeping on the streets until I found Street Sense Media. From that, I had the chance to sleep in the shelter for the first time. There I lived a different life.

Now that the shelter is closing I know I will have to be back on the street. Sad I was, but not too much because someone helped me with a tent. Hopefully things will get better so I can be housed.
